I get confused in my recollection of ITVs films, is this one of theirs?
Harry Potter and the Phantom Octopussy
Crack special agent Harry Potter is sent by "M" to investigate the return of a Flux Capacitor from the Russian Death Eaters. Along the way he meets Tanya Dumbledore who holds his wand for a few minutes...
Meanwhile!...Crazy Inventor Lord Voldemort steals some plutonium and with his young friend, Ron Weasley, takes his DeLorean back to the year 1955 where he stops Harry's parents getting married, by killing them. But in a funny way...
CIA agent Hermione Leiter has tracked Darth Blofeld to his underground lair on Dagobah. Little does the Dark Lord realise that George McFly has set a trap and planning to give him a right good kicking!
The End
(Harry Potter will return in "From Hogwarts With Love")
I like the Harry Potter films and did watch Philosophers Stone today but I kind of agree that they show them too much. I do seem to always watch them though, even though I have then on DVD and could watch them any time without the advert breaks.

I'm like you. I have them all on Bluray, 2 of them in 3D but still like to watch them on TV. It's strange.
Personally I think they are the perfect Saturday afternoon viewing.
I never tire of them.
That's the spirit
I was happy enough when the Star Wars saga was on
And to Potter fans unfortunate enough not to be able to afford Sky, BT or Virgin Media, they will be able to see ALL the Potter films now
IIRC Star Wars fans had to wait 5 years to see Revenge of the Sith premiered, so those who have been waiting to see Deathly Hallows it's finally on it's way in a few weeks
In my opinion Harry Potter never gets old and there is something special about watching movies on TV (even if you have the DVD!). I haven't seen the earlier ones in a while so I very much enjoyed the first one today and am looking forward to watching the rest over the coming weeks!
I don't mind that they are showing them again, I've never seen any of them, so I watched The first one yesterday for the first time, and loved it! Will be watching them all now. Every Saturday is it??

If you love the films, please read the books if you haven't already. The films are OK, but the books are just amazingly good.

Films 2 and 3 are definitely on the next two saturdays after that I would check listings because if they are showing films 7 and 8 for the first time I would imagine it would be over Christmas and new year rather than in January. Oh and as Granny McSmith said you should check out the books, they are wonderful.:D
Channel 4 are just the same with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Not that I mind, I like the films, but there's so many other great films they could show.

This confuses me. Why be so completely reliant on films appearing on TV in the age of On Demand and DVD? I know there's something special about watching certain films on TV, but I wouldn't have thought that would apply to more modern flicks which are accessible any time you want.

Yes but they're free on TV whereas if you want to (legally) watch them any other way you have to pay for the DVD or pay to rent/watch on Netflix etc.
ITV are over using HP over Christmas which will get people switching off, those who love it have seen it all before, those who do not will not watch anyway?

Well thanks a lot for spoiling it!!!

Me too!
At least that's what it looks like on my schedules.

It would be nice if there was a greater range of films, but ITV go with the same films that they know will get them an audience.
Until one dark day they'll no longer work in that way, and then ITV will try a different film series.
You forgot Bridget Jones, that seems to be on every couple of months as well.

About bloody time. I'm too cheap to buy the dvd.

Notting Hill and Love, Actually as well...

You can get DVDs for a couple of quid and they are yours forever to watch when you want.
I see your point about Netflix etc though.
Thanks, I am an avid reader so will do that
^ This.
Even though I have all 8 on DVD its still nice to watch them on tv.
I would never turn down an opportunity to watch HP.
